A Long Overdue Shout-Out

Elsa is lucky enough to have some buddies who are nearly her same age. These buddies were all born to our Peace Corps friends within this past year and we can not tell you how thrilled we are that Elsa gets to grow up with the kids of some of the greatest people we know.

Most recently, Rigley June entered the world right into the proud hands of her momma Jen and poppa Chris, we are so happy she is here. Gus made an early arrival at the Burns household and proved that Jen and Adam passed along some pretty spectacularly cute and hard core genes and he is doing beautifully. Little Huck is the beautiful baby boy of Kevin and Marygold and is happy up in Ithaca, chilling in his garden and helping momma with her dissertation (he must nap really well!). Mathieu was born to Dave and Sue and is having fun paddling around Tybee.

Elsa positively can't wait to meet her buddies and get playing. She looks forward to Rigley being the other tomboy on trips and being her pal in secretly oggling over how cute Gus and Huck are. She looks forward to Gus teaching her how to burp the alphabet and build a strawbale house. And she is hoping Huck can pass along those mad soccer skillz he is bound to have. Finally, Mathieu is in charge of helping Elsa learn all about turtles and frogs - her favorites.

Many of our other good friends have have babies in the recent months, and Elsa loves them all too, but these dudes and dudettes get a special mention due to the distance between us and the fact that they are all Peace Corps babies!

Aw man, I was thinking of doing a shout out to the PC babes but you stole my thunder. I really hope they can all grow up together and end up buddies. It's so nuts that 4 out of 5 couples in Costa Rica last year have kids, all within a year! Whoa.
